Because some bright-spark at RH decided it would be a great idea to 
clobber the boot progress log on the console. I know the plymouth boot 
animation does that as well, but if that's the attitude they are taking 
they might as well just pipe it all to /dev/null for all the usefulness. 
For me that wasn't acceptable, so getty on the first terminal is disabled.

If you want it back, make sure this line:

ACTIVE_CONSOLES=/dev/tty[1-5]

is set to include terminal one. By default it starts at 2. This will 
need to be set in /etc/sysconfig/init and /etc/init/start-ttys.conf.
